The 2010 Alta Malbec (60%) – Bonarda (40%) received the same elevage as the Alta Malbec. Dark ruby red in color, it has a spicy bouquet of blueberry and cherry fruit, spice box, and balsamic. On the palate it exhibits succulence, good depth, and a smooth texture. Drink this excellent value over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Ecosur Group, Salisbury, NC; tel.
